Iranian TV says Tehran has launched missiles at bases in Iraq
WASHINGTON - Iran launched a series of missile attacks aimed at bases in Iraq, Iranian state television reported Tuesday, saying that the missiles had been launched as the opening of Tehran's "revenge" for the U.S. killing last week of a top Iranian general.
The Iranian Fars news agency showed footage that it said showed "tens" of missiles being launched toward the Al Assad air base in northwest Iraq, which houses both Iraqi and U.S. forces. The attack was the "beginning of a harsh Iranian revenge" for the death of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the Iranians said.
The apparent attack marks a major escalation of the conflict.
